If anyone should happen to write a script that gathers the number of calls on a per slot basis, I would be interested in it as well. I also have 2 hunt groups on one chassis and have always wanted to make this work.

use the script function of MRTG to pull the numbers via SNMP from the NMC (or ARC)
3Com uses a fairly easy to understand numbering system... just add the slot to the port and you get the SNMP index.
1001 is slot 10 port 1. Use it in your snmpget/walk to index the tables and pull off the values you need.
Might be a bit slower than going straight to the card.. but it would work.
While I'm not extremely familiar with MRTG's capabilities...if you're dealing with (say, for example) 4 DSP's in a chassis, and 2 of the DSPs are one hunt group and the other 2 are the other hunt group, it gets a bit more hairy. Obviously its not *terribly* difficult, but it is going to require some scripting to split apart which is which and adding up. The usrSlotUtilizationTable gives you number of calls active on a per-slot basis, which removes the adding up part at least, and also gives you a nice index value that corresponds with the slot number. Again...not that it would be terribly hard to come up with in a script, but with these OIDs, its possible that there would be no script needed at all. Incidentally, this table also gives you total number of calls possible on a per-slot basis (so, if its a quad, it gives you a 4, if its a DSP running PRI, it gives you a 23, etc.), and nicely calculates a percentage utilization which is kinda cool (though easily figured out with the other two numbers :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
